EVENTS
IN ASTI
One of the most famous events held in Asti is the famous Palio di Asti,
in which all the old town wards, called "Rioni" and "Borghi" plus nearby towns
compete
in a bare-back horse race.
This event recalls a victory in battle versus the rival city Alba, during the Middle
Ages after
the victorious battle a race was held around Alba's walls, from then on every year
in Asti.
Asti's Palio is the oldest recorded one in Italy, and in modern times is held in the
triangular
Piazza Alfieri preceded by a medieval pageant through the old town on

ASTI WINE
Some of most important Italian wines—including the renowned Barolo—
are produced in the nearby Langhe (Province of Cuneo). Monferrato generally, which
includes the Province of Asti, is an important area for the production of fine wines.
But perhaps the wine most famously associated with Asti worldwide is the sparkling
Asti Spumante (DOCG).
The name today is usually shortened to ‘Asti’ in order to avoid associations with the
many wines of dubious quality which are labelled as Spumante. Asti is typically
sweet and low in alcohol (often below 8%). It is made solely from the moscato bianco
white muscat grape.
A premium version known as Moscato d'Asti (DOCG) is seldom seen outside Italy.

MUSEC PROJECT: ASTI BACKGROUND
The municipality of Asti has set up a special office, named "Sportello Europa" to manage
community programme
and to spread the UE policies in the population, with particular attention about economical and
social development
and citizen's security.
Being a public board, it's responsible on its territorial area of the connection with the institutions
operating on
the territory (region, province, prefecture, police-headquarters, penal and civil court) and
guarantees the

MUSEC PROJECT: ASTI BACKGROUND
Urban and Environmental Programmes and plans experiences of ASTI
ØSB 100, developed by ANAB integrated system to address, assess and control the sustainability of construction
interventions.
The Municipality of Asti has adopted this system to improve energetic efficiency of the new buildings, with a particular
focus on the
philosophy underlying the project, and in order to enhance project managers and customers’ sensibility to
environmental issues.
ØGuidelines on sustainable architecture – operative policies for interventions in agricultural areas. The study
is aimed at
recovering rural buildings, as tokens of a long tradition to be safeguarded, besides defining guidelines for the new
buildings in
agricultural areas, so that they are compatible with pre-existent architectural-historic settlements and with principles
of environmental
protection.This manual is a first concrete example of support for planning, since it provides with control lists to assess
the
compatibility of the intervention.
ØLAMCODE - Landscape Management for Countryside Developement is an interregional cooperation
project funded
by RFO Progresdec Interreg III C:The objective of the project is the integration of the European Spatial Development
Perspective
principles into a shared and participated code, which gives added value to rural landscape plans and policies. The

vAccording to
European environmental policies about energy, Asti has developed different strategies of
communication in
efficiently source energy consumption and promotion of best practices.
The Municipality of Asti has stated the intention to pursue the aims indicated in the Kyoto Protocol to slow down
global warming
takes effect. In particular, Asti has developed an energetic plan including some pilot projects:
v1. energy consumption analysis
v2. the causes of the public energy consumptions, comprehensive of new consumption and gas emission
valuation
v3. photovoltaic system in Public Buildings
v4. Grants in aid to encourage the use of the thermal solar heating system
v5. Grants in aid to encourage the use of environmental lower impact fuel (metano, gpl)
v6. Sustainable transportation policies (cycle lane and contributions for 150 electric bicycles)

Municipal Energetic Plan approved on 20th July 2005 that includes:
a)
National and Regional energetic legislation
ü
DLGS 192/2005 – attuazione direttiva 2002/91/CE on Energy Performance of Buildings - Improvement of
energy efficiency and increased use of renewable energy in new and existing buildings.
ü
Regional Law n. 43 of 07/04/2000 on the reclaim and the conservation of the quality of the air
b)
Revision of the contract on Municipal Management of the heat
ü
N. 30 thermal plants started using methane
ü
N. 34 plants started using flowing condensation boilers
ü
N. 8 solar thermal plants installed in municipal sport centers

Fixing actions indicating the first effective step of the plan.
Motivation to participate in the MUSEC project
An efficient policy of energetic planning can’t be managed only by a Municipality.
The activation of
processes, as A21L, play an important role in strategic definition of a sustainable
way of life that
involve every citizen. Therefore, environmental policies, targeting sustainable
development, are
one of more important guidelines for Asti and the participation to the MUSEC project
can help a lot
on the local sustainable energy implementation work.
